I remember it more so when i think of my typical cretan mother and how she cooked for us. Foodwise, Crete is pretty much as i describe it in the blog - I'd say most people live like us. i feel quite blessed that we are often nourished by our own land. i dont like being melodramatic, but in this day and age, it is a miracle if a townsperson has seen a chicken laying an egg in a chicken coop i hope you enjoy my life stories - sometimes i think they are better than my food (which today is fasolada) hello old neighbour, thanks for stopping by

I love Portobello Road and despite living in London I don't visit nearly often enough... Those silver teapots hanging around the pavement stall always fascinate me. Most other countries they'd be securely locked away at the back of the store! What wonderful pictures!

Yes, you will get narky people in Portobello - it's a rather posh end of town you see. Is this near where you were staying? If not, why did you not go to Borough!!!! Have you been before? Ha ha!

I've been trying to pick out my favorite picture and I really can't do it - they're all top quality. Great job, Peter.
